Hey guys, I've been hanging around here 4 a while and I decided to post here since some time freed up. I've been lifting 4 about 1.5 years so far. I'm an ectomorph, and I suffer from under-eating syndrome. I usually consume like 3000 Cal a day I guess. Anyway, here r some stats:Age: 18. Height: 5'10.5". Weight: 144lbs. BP: 155 lbs. Squat: 200 lbs. DL: 285 lbs. Military Press: 105 lbs. Lunges: 135lbs. Dips: 45 lbs. Chin-up: 25 lbs.

You're not going to get far by limiting yourself to a label like "ectomorph".

There is no such thing as under-eating "syndrome". You just don't eat enough.

3000 Calories may do it for you right now, but probably not for long. I had to consume around 4000 to grow when I started out at 150 lbs.

Nice, just ate ~1000 calories of rice, beef, asparagus, spinach, and bread. My chest was quite sore from the flys yesterday. This means that my chest doesn't get very much stimulation from bench pressing at all, cause I feel nothing after those. I only have a forearm and triceps pump. I should spread my hands out on the bar more, i no. Since I was lazy today, I decided to skip the gym, but I have dumbbells and a 15 pound barbell at home, so I decided to do standing military presses for the max. So glad I did. The extra food/muscle really helps!

Standing Military Press: 65x5, 85x1, 95x1, 105x1, 110x1! PR!!!

Lol! On a side note my friend walked in on a girl taking a poopie in a co-ed bathroom this morning. The lock was broken. Go figure.

Yeah... Don't think I'm gonna do that again anytime soon. Except maybe squats. Really gets my form down and my legs are always sore for at least 3 days afterwards. I wanna get up to 15x100 for extensions, however.

My Chin-up is way to close to my dip, because I think my triceps are as strong as my biceps. They're certainly smaller than the biceps, which is a problem. I think the reason I was able to get so many PRs is because I pigged out right before I did this, like a 1500 calorie meal consisting of chicken, fish, salad, 1 hot dog, deli sandwich, waffle fries, and a cup of coke. I'm steadily gaining weight, I believe. Close to hitting 150lbs if I'm not mistaken.

I've decided to go ape-shit on hyperextensions and ab wrok from now on. A stronger lower back and core would most definitely add on many pounds to the squat and deadlift that I so crave. Plus they're really hard on the last reps.

I did this around 11P.M., but I just finished a digiorno thin-crust pizza and I felt all pumped. I was 152lbs after I finished it so I would guess to be around 150 by the time I wake up tomorrow morning. Christmas goal achieved! (150 lbs with a six-pack) I have a back-up plan for 155 pounds with a six-pack if I reached my goal earlier. Lets just hope my binging habits stay consistent! (My biggest problem, as with most people)

WOW. Today was absolutely RIDICULOUS! I broke my Bench Press pr by 5 pounds and my Squat PR BY 30 FUCKING POUNDS!!! I'm so glad I did high rep work and prior training on my lower back and abs/core. I actually passed my christmas goal for squat today.

One note: My form on the 225 was awesome, but the one for 235 left a lot to be desired. I definetly got below parallel, but on the way up my knees were almost touching, and my back momentarily lost its tightness near the top! Could've injured myself for SURE. Thank god I didn't. Anyway, still the best workout of my life!

I'm officially over 150 pounds, and I ate at McDonalds for breakfast and lunch, and at Wendy's for dinner. So unhealthy but definetly helped my performance and power today!

I liked the Reverse-Grip Bench Press. I think it recruits my muscles VERY differently than regular BB Presses. Will definitely incorporate them into my workouts regularly. Arrgh, should've maxed out on BB Lunges! Will DEFINITELY do that next time! Hmm... I think my previous method of bodyweight pull-ups of 50 reps spread out over multiple sets worked my lats more than what I did today, if my lats aren't sore tomorrow, I'll change it back.

Okay, wow. Haven't trained in almost two weeks! (In the gym at least) Terrible. Anyways, today was kind of a disappointment but was kind of a wake-up call to my body. My hammies were really tight, so I had to bail on the squats and lunges early before I pulled something at the bottom of my lift. Definitely incorporating streching and perhaps foam rolling.

Sorry all for the shitty consistency, finals were a bitch. I joined a gym in town cause the university gym's probably closed for ~3 weeks. Anyways, I decided to start 5-3-1, a long overdue project which will hopefully rein in my ego at the gym and boost my consistency since I paid 50 bucks for it.

Note: These One-rep Maxes were done 2 weeks or so ago when i was fresh, and I probably got weaker, but I'll keep them as long as I manage to do the required reps (with good form, of course).

Seated Wide-Grip Rows:

Reverse-Grip Incline BP:

Barx10x5

Yes, I know the assistance work is very random and not true assistance work, but I find myself too tired to do pull-ups after deadlifting or squatting, so I go for less strenous work. I should warm up and stretch more. My biceps are bigger, but weaker than my triceps. I do not think my numbers for the tricep pulldowns are that high, I will move to a more difficult machine. (Universal)

Damn, My traps, shoulders, and abs are sore today. I did 50 reps with the ab wheel yesterday. I also did 100 reps with dimes in like 5 sets. I'm pretty fine with today's workout. I wish my squat form was a bit tighter on the last reps, but I guess that's to be expected. Hmm...
